1. sombr, “12 To 12”

I Barely Know Her → SMB Music LLC / Warner → 2025

“I don’t want anyone else / From the hours of 12 to 12.” Noted, sombr (Shane Boose). He adds, “I am not the least compelled / By anyone but yourself.” Also, noted. The 20-year-old Gen-Z singer, songwriter, and producer brings freshness.  “12 to 12” is an undeniable bop from the start.  Boose wrote it; he produced it with Tony Berg.  The sounds are the first things that catch the ear – colorfully, striking keys and synths, beefy guitars, a bass line to die for, anchored by an epic groove that makes you rise to your feet.  The musical backdrop is ample fuel for sombr’s fire.

Even with the help of the music to gas him up, sombr is on autopilot. Matters of the heart, namely unrequited love, are the real fuel: “My mistake / If I’d known that it would happen this way / I’d never looked at you, looked in the first place.” Boose’s voice is delightful.  He sings expressively, bringing the tuneful melodies to life. His falsetto is stunning during the pre-chorus, where he asks, “Was it always in your plan to leave eventually?” The chorus is the crowning achievement:

“In a room full of people, I look for you

Would you avoid me, or would you look for me too?

Tell me, is our story through? (Through)

Or do our hearts still beat in tune?”

Vocal harmonies up the ante during the chorus.  Another bright spot is the bridge where Boose’s voice sounds particularly special (“Maybe in another world / I won’t feel so unlovable (Unlovable) / Oh (Unlovable).” Fresh, young, and talented, sombr ate, and left no crumbs on “12 to 12”.

2. Beyoncé, “I Care”

4 → Columbia Records → 2011

“Well, I care / I know you don’t care too much, / But I still care, baby.” 💔 Ah, a classic case of one-sided, aka unrequited love! Beyoncé cares, but he doesn’t, at least not too much 😏. “I Care” is the seventh track on 4, the 2011 fourth studio album by the Grammy-winning artist extraordinaire.  4 is the most underrated and underappreciated album of her discography. While I found “I Care” odd at the time, I have grown to love it genuinely.  Despite never touching the pop charts, “I Care” was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2024. Impressive! Beyoncé, Jeff Bhasker, and Chad Hugo composed it; Bhasker produced it with co-production by Bey.

“Ain’t nobody tell me this is love
When you’re immune to all my pain
I need you to tell me this is love
You don’t care?
Well, that’s okay.”

Thematically, there are no questions about the validity of “I Care.” See the chorus and first verse excerpted earlier. Beyoncé adds in the second verse, “You see these tears fallin’ down to my ears /I swear you like when I’m in pain, yeah.” YIKES 😳!  Musically, it’s intriguing. It begins enigmatically with a pad, anchored by drum programming.  There’s also interesting vocal production.  The backing vocals are solid and standard from start to finish, amplifying Bey’s lead.  “I Care” also appeared on her Homecoming: The Live Album (2019). The song exceeds expectations in its live format. The vocals are high-flying, particularly as Bey nails the high notes. Ultimately, “I Care” is a fabulous unrequited love song that deserved far more praise.

3. JJ, “Wasted Love”

“Wasted Love” → Warner Music Group Germany Holding GmbH / Manifester Music → 2025

“I’m an ocean of love / And you’re scared of water / You don’t want to go under / So you let me go under.” Poetic matters of the heart – you’ve got to love it! Well, only one side loves… It’s unrequited central, sigh. Something to love, however, is the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 winner, JJ (Johannes Pietsch). The queer Austrian singer/songwriter gags us with his debut single, “Wasted Love”. JJ co-wrote “Wasted Love” with Teodora Špirić and Thomas Thurner. With his distinct, refined ‘high tenor’ vocals, JJ is a countertenor with an operatic background. He shows off his opera skills throughout “Wasted Love,” sung exclusively in English. Beyond his soaring countertenor, JJ brilliantly gives life to the melodies. “When you let me go / I barely stayed afloat,” he sings emotionally in the second verse, adding, “I’m floatin’ all alone / Still, I’m holdin’ on to hope.” The melodies are consistently tuneful, particularly the impressive chorus.  “Now that you’re gone / All I have / Is wasted love / This wasted love,” he sings, continuing, “Now that you’re gone / Can’t fill my heart / With wasted love / This wasted love.” Word. Beyond the vocal performance and lyrics, the orchestration and production are sickening.  “Wasted Love” features classical and orchestral music cues alongside modern pop and electronic cues.  This fusion seems to capture Pietsch’s love of various musical genres, as well as the plight of love.  After the first verse sets the tone instrumentally, the second picks up steam with more instrumentation.  The ending is adventurous with a tempo increase and digging into dance/electronica. JJ put in serious work on “Wasted Love”, capturing unrequited, ‘wasted love’ like a champ.

4. alt-J, “Adeline”

RELAXER → Infectious Music Ltd. / Atlantic Recording Corporation → 2017

“Ooh, my Adeline / I watch your morning swim again.” Creepy… at least a little bit, my guy? Even though he’s obsessed with the beautiful “Adeline,” she does not reciprocate. Unrequited love exemplified! Could she entertain his feelings if she wanted to? Well, PROBABLY NOT, considering this alt-J song is about a Tasmanian devil who falls in love with a woman. 👀 Yes, you read correctly! “Adeline” is the sixth track from the English indie rock band’s third studio album, Relaxer, released in 2017. “Adeline” has a folksy quality that is quite beautiful.  A beautiful specimen like Adeline deserves a beautiful backdrop, right? Right! More impressive, however, is the band’s ambition and cleverness. Again, I reiterate, a Tasmanian Devil longing for a woman?! You can’t make this shit up… well, alt-J did, and came up with an unrequited love song for the ages!

“Ooh, my Adeline, ooh

Down in Tasmania

Where the devil’s jaws are far too weak

To tear you away.”

Tasmania… Devil… Get it? “Adeline” is one or one.

5. Conan Gray, “Heather”

Kid Krow → Republic Records → 2020

“Walks by / What a sight for sore eyes / Brighter than the blue sky / She’s got you mesmerized while I die.” What a bummer for Conan Gray! Ugh! What isn’t a bummer is “Heather”, the 10^th track from his 2020 debut album, Kid Krow. “Heather” marks one of the best moments from the platinum-certified album. Speaking of Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certifications, “Heather” was certified multi-platinum.  The multi-platinum status is impressive considering the song failed to reach the top 40 on the pop charts – it settled for number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100. Gray composed a gem, produced by Dan Nigro.

On “Heather,” Conan Gray is wrongfully mad at Heather.  Why??? The person he likes doesn’t like him (“Only if you knew how much I liked you”) but likes Heather (“But I watch your eyes as she…”), so he dislikes Heather.  But should he? “But how could I hate her? She’s such an angel,” he asserts, and continues, “But then again, kinda wish she were dead…” It’s illogical, but very relatable, particularly the chorus:

“Why would you ever kiss me?

I’m not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester

But you like her better

(I wish I were Heather).”

Ultimately, “Heather” is a superb pop song that encompasses unrequited love and jealousy.  Gray sings beautifully with incredible authenticity and sincerity.

6. King Princess, “1950”

Make My Bed (EP) → Zelig Music, LLC → 2018

“I hate it when dudes try to chase me,” nonbinary and genderqueer singer-songwriter King Princess (Mikaela Straus) sings in the first verse of their 2018 song, “1950”. They add in the Make My Bed (EP) highlight, “But I love it when YOU try to save me.” Early on, the cards are revealed, and the talented artist is unafraid to be out and proud! “I love it when we play 1950,” she sings. Annotating for Genius, King Princess explains, “It’s a metaphor in the sense that I think I was using the idea of the way that queer people had to hide their love in history, throughout our history. Being a parallel to unrequited love.” There you have it.  The lyric references a much more conservative, less queer-friendly era in history.

King Princess is unafraid to be bold and live true to themself. “So, tell me why Gods look like you / And tell me why it’s wrong,” they sing in the pre-chorus.  Clearly, the artist is in awe of this person, as if they were a deity.  Also, while same sex relationships are much more widely accepted, that wasn’t always the case, and some still see them as wrong. In the chorus, she sings, with a tuneful melody, mind you, “So, I’ll wait for you, I’ll pray / I will keep on waiting for your love.” Many lyrics stand out, including the telling “Did you mean it when you said I was pretty?” from the second verse.  Throughout “1950,” Straus sings beautifully.  The songwriting, with Nick Long, aka Dark Waves, is stellar.  The inspiration, a 1952 novel called The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, makes for a fascinating musical listen. Michael Malchicoff’s production is a win too. “1950” is a gem, PERIOD.

7. Frank Ocean, “Bad Religion”

channel Orange → The Island Def Jam Music Group → 2012

“Taxi driver / Be my shrink for the hour / Leave the meter runnin’.” Clearly, Frank Ocean (Christopher Breaux) needed someone to talk to, and his cab driver played the role of therapist on “Bad Religion”. The arrival point of the cab ride – unimportant.  “Bad Religion” is a highlight from Ocean’s Grammy-winning, gold-certified, 2012 debut album, channel Orange. Frank Ocean, Bruce Waynne (Waynne Nugent), Dirty Swift (Kevin Risto), Monte Neuble, and Charlie Gambetta composed this R&B ballad about unrequited love.  Ocean, Malay (James Ryan Ho), and Om’Mas Keith produced it.  Frank’s expressive voice and the production, composed of piano, organ, and strings, are divine.

“Bad Religion” is thrilling from start to finish. Is religion the focal point? Nope! In the pre-chorus, his driver asserts, “Allahu akbar,” adding, “Bobo, you need prayer.” Ocean responds in the centerpiece, the chorus:

“If it brings me to my knees

It’s a bad religion

Ooh, ooh, this unrequited love

To me, it’s nothin’ but a one-man cult

And cyanide in my Styrofoam cup

I can never make him love me

Never make him love me.”

This is all about one-sided, aka unrequited love.  In the bridge, Ocean repeats the phrase, “love me,” over and over, for emphasis.  Sexuality has already crept into the mix in the chorus, with Ocean being in love with him.  But he addresses it in the second verse: “I can’t tell you the truth about my disguise / I can’t trust no one.” In the outro, he concludes, “It’s a bad, it’s a bad religion / To be in love with someone who could never love you (Ooh).” Unrequited love is not a happy place, regardless of sexuality. Interestingly, during his channel Orange album cycle, Ocean came out as bisexual, which was a big deal, particularly in the R&B/hip-hop world. “Bad Religion” is nothing short of awesome.

8. Vanessa Carlton, “A Thousand Miles”

Be Not Nobody → A&M → 2002

“Makin’ my way downtown / Walkin’ fast faces pass / And I’m homebound.” Would it be inaccurate to characterize Vanessa Carlton as a one-hit wonder? Yes, because she earned another top 40 hit. That said, “A Thousand Miles” is the biggest and most defining hit of her career. The famous piano intro/riffs and tuneful melodies helped “A Thousand Miles” peak at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, where it charted for 41 weeks. “A Thousand Miles” undoubtedly helped propel her 2002 album, Be Not Nobody, to platinum status. Sometimes characterized as one of the whitest songs ever (🫢), it was and remains a vibe two decades later. The piano plays a pivotal role. The strings are sweet as well.  Carlton also sings well.

“If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

Tonight.”

Those lyrics reveal another key part of “A Thousand Miles”: UNREQUITED LOVE! Carlton revealed the song was written about a crush she failed to express her feelings to, and those feelings were one-sided. “It’s always times like these when I think of you / And I wonder if you ever think of me,” she sings in the second verse, “’Cause everything’s so wrong and I don’t belong / Livin’ in your precious memory.” Word. “A Thousand Miles” is pretty doggone white, but it’s a white, unrequited love classic we love. Just remember, “And I still need you / And I still miss you / And now I wonder.”

9. Radiohead, “Creep”

Pablo Honey → LLLP LLP / XL Recordings Ltd → 1993

“You float like a feather / In a beautiful world,” Thom Yorke (b. 1968) sings, and continues, “I wish I was special / You’re so fuckin’ special.” The lady, from Yorke’s perspective, can be described as the sugar, honey, iced tea – fine shyt, if you will! As for him, he ends up being a C-R-E-E-P.  One of the best songs from the Radiohead catalog is “Creep”. It is one of two top 40 hits by the Grammy-winning band. It peaked at a career-high number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Unfortunately, the band wasn’t nominated for Grammys during their Pablo Honey (1993) era. Yorke, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Mike Hazlewood, and Albert Hammond composed “Creep.” Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade produced it.

“Creep” is thrilling for many reasons. The awesome drum groove deserves plenty of praise. So does the memorable harmonic progression.  Set in G, the progression is G (I), B (III or V/vi), C (IV), and C minor (iv). The B major and C minor chords aren’t standard in G major, giving the record a unique sound 🤓.  The music pops, but the star of the show is Yorke, who delivers a fantastic vocal. Yorke begins singing tenderly, in his middle register. Timely f-bombs precede the chorus in all three verses, excerpted earlier.  Yorke paints a picture of an inadequate fella who desires an unattainable angel.  She’s perfect, and he sucks. “I don’t care if it hurts / I wanna have control,” Yorke sings in the second verse, and continues, “I want a perfect body / I want a perfect soul.” Kick-ass distorted guitar arrives during the big, boisterous chorus. Even though the chorus is anthemic, Yorke doesn’t force things or dare oversing. The chorus is memorable and tuneful by all means:

“But I’m a creep

I’m a weirdo

What the hell am I doin’ here?

I don’t belong here

Oh-oh, oh-oh”

Yorke delivers great falsetto during the bridge following the second iteration of the chorus (“She’s runnin’ out the door…”). Yorke stretches his voice, reaching for impressive high notes. “Creep” is a masterpiece.  Why? Great vocals, great songwriting, great production, a great harmonic progression… GREAT EVERYTHING!

10. Patti LaBelle, “If Only You Knew”

I’m In Love Again → Philadelphia International / Sony BMG → 1983

“I must have rehearsed my lines / A thousand times / Until I had them memorized.” Ah, those famous opening lyrics hail from Patti LaBelle, specifically, one of her biggest, most renowned hits, “If Only You Knew”. “If Only You Knew” appears on her 1983, gold-certified album, I’m In Love Again.  This ultra-smooth soul cut, amazingly, was merely a moderate hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 46 – #TRAVESTY!  It performed better on the R&B charts.

So, why was Patti LaBelle rehearsing lines? Well, she needed to tell him her true feelings.  It took her a while to “get up the nerve / To tell you the words.” Those words are, of course, finding LaBelle revealing her love.  The classic chorus says it best, at least, what LaBelle wanted to say:

“If only you knew

How much I do

Do love you

If only you knew

How much I do

I do need you.”

LaBelle sings brilliantly, showing poise early on and ‘letting her rip’ as the record progresses. “If Only You Knew” was tailor-made for LaBelle.  Penned by the talented team of Cynthia Biggs, Dexter Wansel, and Kenneth Gamble, it’s incredibly well written.  LaBelle takes this love-driven gem and runs with it.

11. Yvonne Elliman, “If I Can’t Have You”

Saturday Night Fever (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) → Barry Gibb, The Estate of Robin Gibb and Yvonne Gibb → 1978

“If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody, baby.” Have truer words ever been spoken regarding love? Grammy-winner Yvonne Elliman (b. 1951) landed the sole number one hit of her career with “If I Can’t Have You”. It originally appeared as the fifth track from the Saturday Night Fever original motion picture soundtrack (1977). It reappeared as the sixth track on her 1978 album, Night Flight. “If I Can’t Have You” was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The Bee Gees (Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Barry Gibb) composed the disco gem while Freddie Perren produced it.

“If I Can’t Have You” starts with a dramatic, disco intro. The rhythm section is tight.  There is marvelous orchestration – strings and French Horn, especially.  The groove propels “If.” Yvonne Elliman delivers strong vocals.  You buy what she’s selling without a hitch.  “Don’t know why, I’m surviving every lonely day / When there’s got to be no chance for me / My life would end,” she sings in the unforgettable first verse, and adds, “And it doesn’t matter how I cry.” Word. At times, harmonized vocal moments up the ante.  Elliman superbly brings the Bee Gees’ tuneful melodies and memorable lyrics to life. In the pre-chorus, another top-notch moment, Elliman asks, “Am I strong enough to see it through? / Go crazy is what I will do.” Woo! The chorus, excerpted earlier, is the section to beat.  The theme is… UNREQUITED LOVE. “I gave it all so easily to you, my love,” she sings in the second verse, and continues, “To dreams that never will come true.” ONE-SIDED LOVE EXEMPLIFIED! For all the above reasons, “If I Can’t Have You” is a surefire vibe – one of the great pop songs of the 1970s that exemplifies the disco era.

12. Meat Loaf, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”

Bat Out of Hell → Sony Music Entertainment → 1977

“I want you, I need you / But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you.” Uh-oh! It’s those universal, pesky matters of the heart rearing their ugly head! Grammy-winning singer and actor Meat Loaf (Michael Lee Aday) (1947 – 2022) continues singing, “Now don’t be sad (Don’t be sad ‘cause) / ‘Cause two out of three ain’t bad.” “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” is the fifth track from Meat Loaf’s lauded 1977, diamond-certified album, Bat Out of Hell. Hall of Fame songwriter Jim Steinman (1947 – 2021) wrote “Two,” while Todd Rundgren produced it.  A huge hit, it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The Recording Industry Association of America certified the single platinum.

So, what is going on in “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad?” An ice-cold relationship.  “Baby, we can talk all night / But that ain’t getting us nowhere,” Meat Loaf sings in the first verse.  In the second, he asserts, “I poured it on, and I poured it out,” adding “I’m tired of words and I’m too hoarse to shout / But you’ve been cold to me so long.” It’s poetically giving unrequited love.  On the bridge, Aday speaks to the extreme that his soon-to-be ex is seeking, cleverly singing, “I know you’re lookin’ for a ruby in a mountain of rocks / But there ain’t no Coupe de Ville hidin’ / At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.” By the third verse, she exits, expressing those memorable, titular lyrics in the chorus.  Meatloaf sings authentically and beautifully throughout “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” – he sells it to the audience like a champ. Beyond his honest vocal performance, the music is stunning.  This is 1970s pop/rock at its best, with a rhythm section (including keys), strings, and lit background vocals supporting Meat Loaf’s dynamic lead. Can I get an amen?! The greatness of “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” endures well beyond the 1970s.

13. Neil Sedaka, “Oh! Carol”

Rock with Sedaka → RCA Records → 1959

“Oh! Carol, I am but a fool / Darling, I love you, though you treat me cruel.” Uh-oh! It’s giving unrequited love, Neil Sedaka (1939 – 2026). The Grammy-nominated musician left a catalog of his own hits, as well as songs he composed that became hits for others.  One of his own triumphs as an artist is his 1959 hit single, “Oh! Carol”. “Oh! Carol” is the 18^th track from Sedaka’s 1959 album, Rock with Sedaka.  A top-10 hit, “Carol” peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sedaka wrote “Oh! Carol” with Howard Greenfield. Al Nevins produced it.

“Oh! Carol” is bright, set in a major key.  The sound can be best described as vintage pop.  The keys, horns, and percussion stand out within the arrangement.  Neil Sedaka shines with his boyish, youthful tenor.  His performance is both innocent and playful, as he yearns for his sweetheart, ‘Carol.’ But, as noted earlier, she’s not feeling him! “I will always want you for my sweetheart,” he sings enthusiastically, and continues, “No matter what you do / Oh! Carol, I’m so in love with you.” Adding to the playfulness, there is a spoken-word verse, which repeats the original sung verse.  The chorus, with all its sweetness, is the crème de la crème.

“Darling, there will never be another

Cause I love you so

Don’t ever leave me, say you’ll never go

I will always want you for my sweetheart

No matter what you do

Oh! Carol, I’m so in love with you.”

Beyond Sedaka, lovely background vocals accentuate the song with their non-lyrical singing (“oohs” and such). The incredibly, almost too-tuneful melodies are a big reason for the success of  “Oh! Carol”.  In short, they don’t make such cutesy, fun, innocent pop cuts like this one anymore. Is it a bit schmaltzy? Yes, but that was the intent and the sound of the era, and Neil Sedaka nailed it.  The song is nothing short of a vintage pop classic.
